Slap in the face, this guy is definitely deliberately slapping the face. In terms of the selection and treatment of ingredients, this is obviously above himself.

Zhang Fei only felt a sense of shame swept over. After she found that wine could improve freshness and Titian, she had been studying it. However, her personality was a bit careless, so the ingredients were processed and selected, so she would not be too detailed.

In front of the real chef, she felt that her shortcomings were infinitely magnified, and her face was blushed.

"What's wrong?" Guan Yu asked with concern as he looked at Zhang Fei's appearance.

"Wow, what a fragrant soup!" Liu Bei suddenly exclaimed, "It's obvious that the ingredients are so simple, why?"

"I didn't expect the chef to know how to use ham, and it was the part of the fire claw..." Lu Su also scooped up a spoonful and tasted it slowly. It was a mellow fragrance and umami flavor. It was obviously just a bowl of ordinary mushroom ham soup, but it was so delicious.

"Ham?" Not everyone can make ham everywhere, especially in this era, Liu Bei was very confused.

"The ingredients made by using a pork leg meat, smearing salt, and then air-drying or smoky..." Zhang Fei put down the soup bowl, "Originally, our family planned to make some, but the climate in Zhuo County is not suitable for making ham."

After all, Zhang Fei is a big family that manages wine and meat. Naturally, Zhang Fei is familiar with ham, but few people on her side can use ham, and it is not suitable for making ham, so he has never been exposed to much.

"In theory, Zhencheng where Chef Wang is located should not be suitable for making ham, right?" Guan Yu looked at Wang Yong.

"In the early days, I had no place to live, and I traveled all over the country. I discovered a lot of ingredients and saw a lot of cooking methods. I still know the ham ingredient." Wang Yong said proudly. If you tell too many lies, it becomes the truth.

"In other words, Chef Wang had never taken the chef exam at all before?" Liu Bei suddenly looked at Wang Yong.

"After all, I haven't settled down, so I have no chance to participate at all." Wang Yong was a little embarrassed.

"You don't know that when you first met him, your cooking skills were actually not much better. At most, it was the level of an intermediate chef. The knife skills, material selection, heat and seasoning were all average. After a year, I was directly raised to this level, and even I was shocked!" Xiahou Dun was naturally standing on Wang Yong's side.

It was because he came into contact with it from the beginning that he didn't feel strange. After all, his initial cooking skills were indeed that way. If he hadn't known some novel recipes, he would probably not have attracted their attention.

It can be improved to this level within just one year, which can only be said to be "talent". She discussed with Xun Yu, and even Guo Jia and Hua Tuo that Wang Yong's true talent may really not be martial arts, but cooking skills!

"You can't just drink soup, you have to eat the rest while it's hot!" Lu Su picked up the rice bowl and after drinking the fragrant soup, he would want to have some food.

When I really got in, I realized that the rice was full, soft and tender, and at the same time, there was a faint fragrance of bamboo and wood.

"Chef Wang, you seemed to say just now, what is this...farm?" Lu Su couldn't help but look up and look at Wang Yong and ask.

"Bamboo rice, put rice and water into the bamboo tube, then place it on the grill, and grill it slowly with charcoal. During this process, the rice will absorb the smell of bamboo and let the rice have the fragrance of bamboo." Wang Yong introduced.

"So complicated, just to make a bowl of rice?" Zhang Fei really couldn't imagine that a simple thing to cook could even be so complicated!

"Supplying the most delicious food to diners is the chef's responsibility!" Wang Yong said proudly.

At this moment, a divine light seemed to be released from his body, which made Zhang Fei unable to open his eyes. Under this light, his cooking skills seemed to be unable to show them to others!

"Gu, pretend to behave..." Zhang Fei picked up the rice bowl, picked up some and ate it. The soft rice, with the fragrance of bamboo and wood, was just right. Especially this smell, just suppressed the aftertaste of the dish, allowing the tongue to rest.

"It's hard to imagine!" Although Zhang Fei was very unwilling to give up, he couldn't help but exclaim, "Rice can actually taste like this! You know, the promotion of rice was only started after Sunshine Breakfast withdrew from Cantonese roast rice!"

Earlier, the mainstream staple foods in the Central Plains should actually be corn and sorghum... Rice and wheat were originally mixed with millet, and millet was generally mixed with grains.

"The rice and soup are like this, what are the other dishes...?" Liu Bei couldn't help swallowing and looked at the other three dishes.

The surface of the chicken is covered in sauce color, but from the outside, it should be the result of stewing. If you don’t look at anything else, it’s a bit like a white-slayed chicken, just add the old soy sauce to color it. But since it’s called ‘HuaDao Chicken’, then HuaDao wine must be added.

I picked up a piece and planned to put it in my mouth. The moment my lips touched it, I felt a cold feeling coming from the chicken. I was a little surprised and couldn't help but exclaim: "This chicken is actually cold!"

"Well, I put it in the ice cube and chilled for more than half an hour..." Wang Yong nodded, "HuaDiao Chicken also has several cooking methods: hot and cold food. After all, it is HuaDiao wine and chicken. Considering that the weather is a bit hot now, I'll have some hot and cold combinations."

"Oh...oh..." Zhang Fei nodded, and after hearing what Wang Yong said, he knew that the production of Huadiao Chicken was definitely not easy, at least the process was also very thoughtful.

"Oh! The sweetness and fragrance of the rice wine completely penetrated into the chicken... At the same time, the spice part, star anise, pepper, bay leaves, grass fruit, cardamom... Chef Wang, I was right?" Lu Su slowly tasted a piece and asked.

"The answer is very correct!" Wang Yong nodded. Lu Su can indeed eat it, and the key is that he knows how to taste it.

"It's just... I feel a little flawed..." Lu Su then wrinkled.

"Indeed, I had to be frozen for one day to make it completely delicious... I just marinated for half an hour temporarily, but it seems that it is not enough..." Wang Yong also admitted the shortcomings of this dish.

"Is it so troublesome to cook a chicken?" Zhang Fei couldn't imagine that the finished product would take more than one day, which in her opinion was simply impossible to imagine.

"Some dishes even take more than thirty days to prepare before they can start cooking. If it is just one day, it is really not enough to see!" Xiahou Dun said complacently, "This flower carving chicken has a little flaw, but it is still the best!"

"That's right!" Lu Su nodded. In fact, this flaw is negligible. After all, this was a temporary decision and there was no time for him to prepare.

Of course, it can also be said that why you don’t prepare other dishes, such as the hot-eating Huadiao Chicken. Lu Su doesn’t think this is Wang Yong’s mistake... So, the answer should be in this set menu!

"How can such things be possible when preparing dishes that can only be cooked for thirty days?" Zhang Fei was even more concerned about the so-called dishes of Xiahou Dun and directly questioned them.

"Of course there will be!" Xiahou Dun looked proud, "I prepared it myself earlier, and I cooked two beefs at low temperatures for thirty years, and then took the beef to cook the dishes. The beef was cooked, but it was very delicious and juicy!"

"I want to eat!" Lu Su shouted immediately.

"It's not easy to prepare... Besides, eating this way is a waste of beef..." Wang Yong smiled. If it were not necessary, he did not want to make this mature beef often. After all, in this era, the number of livestock breeding is not very large.

In the era when there was no feed and fertilizer and green storage had not appeared, the cost of large-scale breeding was still too high. The key is that cattle and mutton grew too slowly, and it took too long to grow from cubs to cows.

"Um... um! um!!! What's going on with this meat??" Liu Bei ate a bite of the chicken and exclaimed immediately, "The chicken is so tender, and the umami smell is almost bursting, as the gravy splashes into his mouth!"

"Indeed, this taste is really amazing!" Guan Yu also had to praise this Huadiao Chicken. He also added a lot of wine, but the wine completely acted as a supporting role, which highlighted the umami and fragrance of the chicken.

"In contrast, your dishes are your three sisters..." Guan Yu couldn't continue to say it. Too much is as bad as too much. These four words are the best interpretation.

"Gu..." Zhang Fei felt that her cooking philosophy of more than 30 years had been completely broken at this moment. She had been studying cooking for three years and spent a lot of money to learn recipes, knife skills, seasoning, materials and heat, and thought she was already very clever.

Especially after discovering that using wine can improve freshness, I began to walk out of my own path. But now I realize that there is really a world beyond the sky and a person beyond the sky. In terms of the application of wine, Wang Yong has left her far behind.

Her shortcomings were magnified to the maximum extent, and her previous cooking habits were also full of mistakes. Although it was largely related to her personal personality and habits, these were very fatal behaviors for a chef.

"Cook, do you need to do this?" Zhang Fei couldn't believe it. He originally thought that cooking was nothing more than a competition of skills, but on Wang Yong's side, she felt something at a higher level.

But she didn't know what it was, she just felt it was very vague, there was no entity at all, and she couldn't touch it.

"Cooking skills are like martial arts..." Wang Yong said slowly, "It's like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. After crossing a period of torrent, you will find that there is a larger torrent waiting for your challenge. In order to deal with this, I have consumed most of my energy, and as for the rest, I have no spare energy to take care of it."

Sometimes I really admire those all-round time travelers. After traveling through time, all the skills are easy to get, and all fields have reached their peak. He has no choice but to devote his whole life to the cooking skill...

"..." Zhang Fei gritted his teeth. She knew more about this. She was a general who wanted to lead troops to fight. If she didn't come into contact with cooking for a long time, her skills would become unfamiliar. She was tired of training, but she was too lazy to move after she came back, and she became perfunctory when she cooked.

This is also the main reason why she has been a senior chef for several years, but has not been able to improve. It is not that she doesn’t work hard, but that this thing is indeed just as Wang Yong said, if she does not continue to practice, she will retreat.

But can martial arts be abandoned? That is what she really eats, so it cannot be abandoned! You can't be abandoned when leading troops in wars, otherwise the two sisters will be too busy, and even have to deal with public security issues when necessary, which will consume a lot of effort!

Thinking of this, Zhang Fei was a little decadent. Even a senior chef was actually deceiving himself. Perhaps, she was indeed not suitable to be a chef. At least, it would be difficult for her to reach a higher level in her life.

"The first few are of this quality, so the remaining two dishes..." Guan Yu swallowed, then stretched out his chopsticks.
